Remember to set your clocks ahead Saturday before heading to bed so you don't miss our service on Sunday, March 12. We welcome back Rev. Bruce Bode, from Quimper UU Fellowship in Port Townsend. ​ SUNDAY, MARCH 12, 4:00 PMREV. BRUCE BODEMINISTER, QUIMPER UU FELLOWSHIPTHE REALM AND EXPERIENCE OF MYSTERY

“The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced,” writes Aart Van Der Leeuw. This sermon will address the question of what the “realm of mystery” is and isn’t, exploring the difference between “mystery” and “puzzle” and what this distinction means for how we live.

Last Friday of the month: Family KitchenJoin us on the last Friday of each month in preparing, cooking, serving, (and clean up) at the First Lutheran Church in Port Orchard. We join with members of the Lutheran Church and Kitsap UU Fellowship to help with the meal. The meal is served at 5:00 and we are usually finished by shortly after 6.
